- The proposal converts the data authority into a special-purpose federal agency linked to the Justice Ministry with functional, technical, decisional, administrative and financial autonomy and its own patrimony.
- The agency would be charged with implementing and enforcing the ECA Digital, including parental-control tools, a ban on loot boxes and channels to report online abuses involving minors.
- The restructuring repurposes 797 vacant administrative posts into specialist roles, creates a new career with 200 data-protection regulation specialists and mandates internal legal and audit units with executive commission posts to align with other regulators.
- Poder360 reports an estimated fiscal impact of R$5.11 million per year, and filling the new specialist positions still depends on subsequent budget authorization.
